A new four-storey block of flats could be built in York close to the former Heworth gas works redevelopment.

Plans have been submitted for the flats to be built at 2 Mill Lane, a vacant site, which backs on to Heworth Court and the former gas works.

There are already plans for a three storey block on the site and developer MLC has applied for permission to add another floor.

The plot was previously home to a two storey building containing a hairdresser and taxi office, but this was demolished in 2016 under a dangerous structure notice, according to a report.

Under the plans, five flats would be built in the new block. The permitted scheme already includes a three storey building with a basement and the new plans would add an additional apartment with a full length dormer.

“The reason for the proposal is to provide an additional residential unit which is in line with the Government’s objective of boosting the supply of homes,” a statement says.

‘Economic benefits’

It adds that the building has been designed to need less heating to “reduce overall carbon emissions”.

The developers say: “The proposals will help local building firms and suppliers during the term of the building contract and least, contributing to an essential part of the city’s economy.
